"What else did Zane tell you?"
"That you're virgin . He almost kiss me"
He turned back
" Yes but I put a straw in his mouth"
" What else ?"
" Someone called me from the hospital saying my dad has been moved back to the private ward"I said
" Where you the one ?"
He didn't answer
" Just take that as my payment ". I
muttered.
"Zane fired the two most important people in the company and he is craving to be partner with Raines company."
"Tomorrow we will visit the people he fired to join your team" he said
"Is Josh gone?"I asked
" Yes" he said
"Ringggggggssssssss" calliah phone rang. She came down to get it
"Mom?" She muttered
"Answer it?"
"Not now " she slid it inside her pocket

We headed to Mr. Walter mansion first made the deal and he agreed second Mr. Howald next
We were now heading to Lester the executive chairman. Axel looked like a bodyguard in full black, only his green eyes gleaming through.
He sat silently in the corner, whiskey in one hand, the other resting on a box full of cash.
Axel eyes caught it sharp
He hid It once at the back of his chair
"Calliah what do I owe this pleasure?" He smiled gesturing I should sit closer to him
I sat while axel stood outside the door post with his hand folded
"It the company. I want you to be on my side"
"Why should I ?"
"Because the company is mine"
He sighed "what do you have to offer if I be on your team?"
" I ensure you the company will be back on"
" But I gain nothing from that?"he said
I bit my mouth trying to suppress my anger from bursting out
"What do you want? money?" I asked
"Money?. I got it all. I want some thing thing else"
"And .??"
He drop the whiskey on the glass table and he held my face tucking my hair.
"You" he said with a smirk.
He smiled touching my skin gently getting closer to my chest when axel burst inside and blow him on his head
Perfect timing
He touch his nose bleeding"what the hell?!" he shouted.
" Guarddddddddsssss"
He yelled like a mad man
" No one's here"
"Zane already came here to bribe him" axel said
Calliah showed him one of his sex tape"Now will you be on my team or not?"
"I will. Now delete it"
"Of course"
axel and I walked out of his mansion
"You're sure you're breathing?"I teased . "Let me help remove your masked" I said at the front of the car
"It's okay we getting home sooner" he said, voice muffled behind it green eyes glittering
"Don't be stubborn. " I stood on my toes, trying to reach his face, but I wasn't even close to his chest.
He lifted me and placed me gently on top of the car. I laughed softly, then reached for his face, pulling off his mask and cap. His hair was damp and messy, his jaw sharp in the evening light.
"Now let's go," I said, hopping down. He caught me by the waist and set me on my feet.
On our way home, I saw a small puppy limping by the roadside.
"Stop!" I said, tapping his wrist.
He hit the brakes immediately.
I stepped out and picked up the dog carefully. "You're okay?" I asked, rubbing its fur softly but it slipped from my hands.
Axel got out too. The puppy barked a little, then ran toward him.
"I think it likes you," I joked.
He picked it up gently.
"Rub its stomach," I said flatly.
"Why should I?"
"Dogs like it," I explained, stepping closer and showing him. "Like this."
The height difference between us was massive I had to stretch up to reach the dog.
Axel copied me, rubbing its fur slowly. The puppy wiggled happily against his hand.
He passed it back to me and went straight to the car.
"We should keep it," I said, following him. "Looks like its owner abandoned it."
#####
When we got home, I dropped my bag and set the dog on the couch.
"What should be your name?" I murmured. "Zane? Desmond? Billy? Cliff?"
Axel entered, locking the door behind him.
"I already gave him a name," he said.
"What?"
"Axel," I muttered, smirking.
He exhaled, half-annoyed. "Good for you."
"It really looks like you," I teased. "Blue eyes, long hair covering his face…"
I stood up to go shower. "Watch him. Axel watch over Axel."
After my bath, I came downstairs wearing a top and shorts.
I decided to get the little Axel some milk, but since the cupboard was high, I called big Axel for help.
"Why is your cupboard so high?" I asked, standing on tiptoe.
He didn't answer just sighed.
I struggled, trying to reach it myself. "I can do it!" I said, jumping like a goat.
He finally grabbed my waist and lifted me up effortlessly. My body slipping I could feel the water dripping out of his hand. His hand already slipped almost to my breast
I could feel his large hand reaching there
My breath caught as I reached for the milk, our closeness making the air heavy.
He quickly set me down, handed me the milk, and walked back to the living room in silence.
"Axel," I called.
He turned slightly.
"Not you the other one," I said, grinning.
He rolled his eyes and walked away.
~~~~~~~~~
"Axellllll," I said, crouching beside the puppy. It wagged its tail.
I poured the milk into a small plate, but it didn't drink.
"Axel, the dog isn't eating!" I called out.
He stopped halfway up the stairs. "It probably thinks it's poisoned."
"Why would I poison it?" I frowned.
He walked back, dipped a spoon into the milk, and tasted it himself. The dog stared up at him curiously.
Axel staring at Axel with his blue eyes . He took another spoon about to give Axel but instead moved to me gesturing me to open my mouth.
"Open your mouth."
I did and he put his hand back in case the milk drip out
The dog sniffed, then started drinking from the plate eagerly.
"Axel's drinking the milk!" I cheered.
The puppy looked up at me, tail wagging.
"Let's go," Axel said, grabbing my hand gently. "Unless you want him to stop again."
I smiled, letting him pull me up.
